announcement

[A Guy Called Matt]

I am pretty sure that everything prior to last night can be forgotten as new info arrived.

All you need to look at are the changes to the rumours and go with those acts for now I think.

Blur are most likely with FM next.

Prince is out - for good (or he should be if he has messed GF about again)..... and I wanted it to be him!

[Matt42]

Says who? I mean I now have my heart set on The Mac so I hope you're right, but there's no reason to rule out Take That that I can see. They have the hits, have the old 'Glasto-shaped hole in their tour dates' and would very much fit with the "said they weren't doing it in the Autumn but maybe could've been given a late call" reasoning being applied to others.

Anyone who thinks Kylie Minogue is a front runner for this year probably doesn't know what's popular anymore.

[OBface]

Why?

I suppose it depends on what your definition of a pop act is. To me it would be the likes of One Direction, Take That etc. And most certainly not Kanye.

EDIT: Not keen to rehash the Kayne debate.

What do we think of the likelihood of something like this? Good call. Id be very pleased if Kylie plays. She's a great performer in her own way, puts on a big show and she has the same behind as my wife (I am very lucky, lucky lucky lucky)

Friday:

Pyramid: Foo Fighters, Florence and the Machine, Pharell Williams, The National

Other: The Strokes, Ben Howard, The Vaccines

Saturday:

Pyramid: Kanye West, Alt-J, Van Morrison, Paloma Faith

Other: Kylie Minogue, Rudimental, The Charlatans

Sunday:

Pyramid: Blur, Taylor Swift, ELO, Lionel Ritchie

Other: Chemical Brothers, Jamie T, The Maccabees

Maybe wishful thinking, but don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Re: Kylie... If Florence is a sub, you would just bump her up rather than give the slot to Kylie.

Florence is bigger than Kylie is now.

Take That, would probably only accept headlining.

I'm still thinking Blur or McCartney

Chuck foals in there somewhere and I'd be absolutely joyous at this line up

[briddj]

As a 5 piece then maybe they'd have an outside chance. Just the 3 of them as it is these days .. No chance at all!

Exactly. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a bit mental.

I find it incredibly difficult to believe Foals will play when they are locked away in the studio. As much as I'd like it to happen, it just doesn't fit.

They're doing some festivals in Europe in July and August so not like Glastonbury would be their only festival.

Got a few dates in July in Europe though I believe?

I mean he has uk tour tickets to sell

Ah - I assumed they'd all sold out, despite the prices!

[GlastoSimon]

If it was Kylie, it would only be due to sentiment. Which GFL doesn't really do, especially when 2008 is considered.

[willutalk]

I'd rather give a lap dance in a club sober than have Take That headlining the festival. It'd be the worst most underwhelming headliner of all time. I'd rather have Mumford.

[Icewulf]

I've just had a terrible revelation.

What if Neil only created this thread and revealed this rumour to keep us away from the Headliners thread, because he knows that when the Headliners thread reaches 2000 pages, the Purple One will be revealed...

[Narnia]

Is this announcement likely to be the lineup in details - i.e actual stages/times? Might be easier to work out who the 3rd headliner is if they announce the sub Maybe that's giving the game away too much hehe Might be possible to figure it out from the list anyway, even if they don't actually give full details. If the subs for Foos and Kanye are obvious then there is something more to work on.

No stages or times - but loads of speculation regardless.

Van Morrison is 3rd down pyramid on Saturday dude

[Icewulf]

Are you drunk?

Very.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Van Morrison is 3rd down pyramid on Saturday dude

If we know that.. swap him and Paloma over!!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

If we know that.. swap him and Paloma over!!

Paloma can't do the Friday.

[FloorFiller]

The Vaccines wouldn't sub, ESPECIALLY not over Kylie who's been considered a headliner herself

also Neil seems to think that Chemical Bros will be the Sunday Other headliner. i don't know where that puts Alt-J in the equation (possibly 3rd on Pyramid)
